The brake release device 2 is fixed to the stopper 121 of the brake member 12. The robot arm 1 brakes or releases the brake according to the relative position between the stopper 121 and the ratchet wheel 16. When the power of the robot arm 1 is normal, the actuator 17 is controlled to drive the stopper 121 to brake or unlock the brakes. When the power is abnormal and the power cannot be restored, the brake release device 2 is exposed to the housing 11 The brake is partially released, and then the restoring force of the elastic member 122 is used to push the stopper 121 to brake. As shown in FIG. 3A, when the brake release device 2 is moved by an external force, the brake release device 2 drives the stopper 121 to move away from the ratchet wheel 16 and compresses the elastic member 122, so that the stopper 121 is separated from the rotation path of the ratchet wheel 16. Then, the ratchet wheel 16 can be rotated freely, and the robot arm 1 can release the brake according to this. In some embodiments, the external force can be used by the user to pull out the part of the brake release device 2 exposed from the housing 11. As shown in FIG. 3B, when the external force stops, the stopper 121 is driven toward the ratchet wheel 16 by the restoring force of the elastic member 122. The stopper 121 returns to the rotation path of the ratchet wheel 16 and blocks the ratchet wheel 16, the ratchet wheel 16 Unable to turn, so the robot arm 1 brakes.

於第2圖所示之實施例中,外力係拉動解煞車裝置2外露於殼體11之部分以進行解煞車,換言之,解煞車裝置2係受外力作用而帶動煞車件12同步朝開口14移動,以實現解煞車。然而,於另一些實施例中,亦可由外力推動解煞車裝置2外露於殼體11之部分,使解煞車裝置2帶動煞車件12同步朝遠離開口14之方向移動,據此實現解煞車。以下係以第7、8、9A及9B圖為例進行說明。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the external force is used to pull the brake release device 2 exposed on the housing 11 to release the brake. In other words, the brake release device 2 is driven by the external force to synchronously move the brake member 12 toward the opening 14. In order to achieve braking. However, in other embodiments, the part of the brake release device 2 exposed on the housing 11 may be pushed by external force, so that the brake release device 2 drives the brake member 12 to move synchronously away from the opening 14, thereby realizing the brake release. The following description is based on Figures 7, 8, 9A and 9B.
第7圖係為本案另一較佳實施例之機器手臂及解煞車裝置的立體結構示意圖,第8圖係為第7圖所示之機器手臂的內部結構示意圖,第9A圖係為第7圖所示之機器手臂及解煞車裝置於解煞車時的剖面圖,第9B圖係為第7圖所示之機器手臂及解煞車裝置於煞車時的剖面圖。於第7、8、9A及9B圖中,類似於第1、2、3A及3B圖所示之元件及結構係以相同標號表示,故於此不再贅述。惟相較於第1、2、3A及3B圖所示之機器手臂1及解煞車裝置2,於第7、8、9A及9B圖所示之機器手臂1’及解煞車裝置2’中,棘輪16、擋塊121、彈性件122及致動器17間之相對位置關係有所變化。如第3A及3B圖所示,彈性件122係位於棘輪16所在平面之相對兩側中距離開口14較近之一側,而如第9A及9B圖所示,連接件213連接或相鄰擋塊121,彈性件122係位於棘輪16所在平面之相對兩側中距離開口14較遠之一側,彈性件122之一端連接於擋塊121,彈性件122之另一端抵接於固定座18。因此,於第7、8、9A及9B圖所示之機器手臂1’及解煞車裝置2’中,如第9A圖所示,解煞車裝置2’受外力作用朝遠離開口14或鄰近內部空間13之方向移動,同步帶動煞車件12之擋塊121朝遠離棘輪16之方向移動並壓縮彈性件122,使擋塊121脫離棘輪16之轉動路徑,據此機器手臂1’解煞車。如第9B圖所示,在擋塊121受彈性件122之回復力驅動而朝開口14移動並接近棘輪16,擋塊121因位於棘輪16之轉動路徑上而卡阻棘輪16,據此機器手臂1’煞車。FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a robot arm and a brake releasing device according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the robot arm shown in FIG. 7, and FIG. 9A is a view of FIG. 7. The robot arm and the brake releasing device are shown in a sectional view when the brake is released, and FIG. 9B is a sectional view of the robot arm and the brake releasing device in FIG. 7 when the brake is braked. In Figures 7, 8, 9A, and 9B, elements and structures similar to those shown in Figures 1, 2, 3A, and 3B are denoted by the same reference numerals, and will not be repeated here. However, compared with the robot arm 1 and the brake release device 2 shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3A and 3B, in the robot arm 1 'and the brake release device 2' shown in Figs. 7, 8, 9A, and 9B, The relative positional relationship among the ratchet wheel 16, the stopper 121, the elastic member 122, and the actuator 17 is changed. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the elastic member 122 is located on the side closer to the opening 14 in the opposite sides of the plane where the ratchet wheel 16 is located, and as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the connecting member 213 is connected or adjacent to the stopper. In block 121, the elastic member 122 is located on one side farther from the opening 14 in the opposite sides of the plane where the ratchet wheel 16 is located. One end of the elastic member 122 is connected to the stopper 121, and the other end of the elastic member 122 abuts against the fixing base 18. Therefore, in the robot arm 1 ′ and the brake release device 2 ′ shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 9A, and 9B, as shown in FIG. 9A, the brake release device 2 ′ is moved away from the opening 14 or adjacent to the internal space by an external force. Moving in the direction of 13 synchronously drives the stopper 121 of the brake member 12 to move away from the ratchet wheel 16 and compresses the elastic member 122 to detach the stopper 121 from the rotation path of the ratchet wheel 16, thereby releasing the brake by the robot arm 1 '. As shown in FIG. 9B, the stopper 121 moves toward the opening 14 and approaches the ratchet wheel 16 driven by the restoring force of the elastic member 122. The stopper 121 blocks the ratchet wheel 16 because it is located on the rotation path of the ratchet wheel 16, and accordingly the robot arm 1 'Brake.
實際上,外力之施力方式與方向可對應解煞車裝置及煞車件12之結構及相對位置進行調整,並不限於上述示例,僅需滿足煞車件12在外力作用於解煞車裝置時可被帶動脫離棘輪16之轉動路徑,且煞車件12可受彈性件122之回復力驅動而復位並卡阻棘輪16,令使用者可於殼體11外部即時進行煞車及解煞車即可。解煞車裝置之整體可為硬材,或解煞車裝置為一體成形的硬材;或解煞車裝置可部分為可撓性材料且另一部分為硬材,可撓性材料之部分固接於煞車件12與硬材之間,部分硬材外露於殼體11。Actually, the application method and direction of the external force can be adjusted according to the structure and relative position of the brake releasing device and the brake member 12, which is not limited to the above example, and only needs to satisfy that the brake member 12 can be driven when the external force acts on the brake releasing device. The ratchet wheel 16 is separated from the rotation path of the ratchet wheel 16, and the braking member 12 can be reset and blocked by the restoring force of the elastic member 122, so that the user can immediately perform braking and unlocking the brake outside the housing 11. The entire brake release device may be hard material, or the brake release device may be an integrally formed hard material; or the brake release device may be part of a flexible material and the other part of a hard material, and the part of the flexible material is fixed to the brake part Between 12 and the hard material, part of the hard material is exposed to the casing 11.
綜上所述,本案提供一種解煞車裝置及其適用之機器手臂,機器手臂之煞車件位於其殼體之內部空間中,機器手臂對應煞車件之位置而煞車或解煞車,解煞車裝置連接於煞車件,且部分穿過殼體上之開口而外露於殼體,使用者可施加外力於解煞車裝置外露於殼體之部分,令解煞車裝置帶動煞車件同步移動,據此機器手臂解煞車。由於使用者可於機器手臂之外部經由拉動或推動解煞車裝置而使機器手臂解煞車,故在斷電無法立即復電情況下,無需拆除機器手臂之外殼便可即時解除煞車。In summary, the present case provides a brake release device and a robot arm suitable for the brake arm. The brake arm of the robot arm is located in the inner space of its housing. The robot arm brakes or releases the brake corresponding to the position of the brake component. The brake release device is connected to The brake parts are partially exposed through the opening in the housing, and the user can apply external force to the part of the brake release device exposed to the housing, so that the brake release device drives the brake pieces to move synchronously, and the robot arm releases the brake accordingly. . Since the user can pull or push the brake release device outside the robot arm to release the brake, the brake can be immediately released without removing the casing of the robot arm when the power cannot be restored immediately.
